This patch set provides ACPI support to DPAA2 network drivers.
It also introduces new fwnode based APIs to support phylink and phy
layers
Following functions are defined:
phylink_fwnode_phy_connect()
fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy()
fwnode_get_phy_id()
fwnode_phy_find_device()
device_phy_find_device()
fwnode_get_phy_node()
fwnode_mdio_find_device()
acpi_get_local_address()
First one helps in connecting phy to phylink instance.
Next three helps in getting phy_id and registering phy to mdiobus
Next two help in finding a phy on a mdiobus.
Next one helps in getting phy_node from a fwnode.
Last one is used to get local address from _ADR object.
Corresponding OF functions are refactored.In general it looks fine to me. What really worries me is the calls like of_foo -> fwnode_bar -> of_baz. As I have commented in one patch the idea of fwnode APIs is to have a common ground for all resource providers. So, at the end it shouldn't be a chain of calls like above mentioned. Either fix the name (so, the first one will be in fwnode or device namespace) or fix the API that it will be fwnode/device API. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
